When is PUBG shutting down for PS4 and Xbox One?

PUBG is undergoing a lot of visual changes, and to facilitate their implementation, the developers have announced that they will be ending support for the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One starting November 13, 2025. This announcement was made just a few months after the developers confirmed that PUBG will be transitioning to Unreal Engine 5 over time.

On that note, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming changes and why the game will no longer be supported on older consoles.

Why is PUBG being removed from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One?

In the 2025 roadmap for PUBG, the developers mentioned that they are planning to fully transition to UE5 within a year. This upgrade should result in much improved visuals and lighting, but it also means that the game will be too demanding for old-gen consoles and low-spec PCs.
